Direct Air Capture (DAC) is needed alongside other CO₂ removal methods to ensure that the total amount of CO₂ required is removed from the atmosphere so that global warming can be limited to below 2 °. While large-scale DAC farms are a promising solution, their high CAPEX and OPEX, along with societal concerns, may hinder widespread deployment. This study presents a novel, modular DAC concept designed for integration into heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems of buildings.
